Goff's passing volume doesn't translate to top-12 finish; strong Lions offense and pace support QBBC pairing.
Goff was second in passing yards (4,564) and passing touchdowns (34) in 2025 but finished tied for QB8 in total points (305.1) and QB13 in points per game (17.9) among quarterbacks with at least eight games played, illustrating the high bar for pocket passers to finish inside the top five. At QB16 ADP (116.7), Goff is not drafted as a starting fantasy quarterback in 12-team leagues but will often crack the top 12 in a given week. The Lions are tied with the Bills for the second-most implied points per game (26.1) in 2026. Goff is a safe Week 1 starter as a 7-point home favorite against the Saints with a 48.5-point game total (27.75-point implied total for DET). The Saints' fast pace (66 plays per 60 minutes, 24.6 seconds per snap) could push the Lions into running more plays, enhancing Goff's appeal as the 'safe' option in a QBBC.
